The Christian Churches of God observe the
weekly Sabbath, the New Moons, and the annual Holy Days according to the
biblical manner. For more information please refer to the paper God's
Calendar(No. 156).God's calendar is simple. The New Moons
from their precise conjunction are the commencement of months. The year
commences with 1 Nisan.

The New Moon closest to the vernal equinox
determines the start of the year with the month of Nisan. The Passover on
15 Nisan must always be after the equinox -- 14 Nisan may fall on the
equinox but 15 Nisan may not do so. The rule is that the time of the
equinox must precede the 3 p.m. sacrifice on the afternoon of 14 Nisan. If it
does not, the year must be intercalated. This is and was calculated months and
years in advance. See the papers The Quartodeciman
Disputes (No. 277).

We accept the calendar timings as they occur at Jerusalem so as to
maintain consistency around the world.

In the following charts EENT
(End Evening Nautical Twilight) has
been included to determine on which days the New Moon timings actually occur.
All times are based on material sourced from the U.S. Naval Observatory and the
Australian Surveying & Land Information Group (AUSLIG).
